That Old Insurance Story.

Josiah Miller, the noted Quaker mer-
chant, of New York, went to an insur-
ance company to get policy on one of
his vessels that was about to sail from
the West Indies for New York with
valuable cargo. The insurance was
heavy and so was the premium, because
the ship was not rated very well at
Lloyd's. Mr.. Miller paid the premium
and was told to call in day or two for
the policy. He called several times,
but the clerks always had an excuse to
offer. The President had not signed
the policy, but would do so when he
came in, and the document would be
sent around in a day OF so. One morn
ing a man came to Mr.. Miller after a
breathless ride on relays of horses from
near Montauk, and reported the ship
wreck on Montauk Point. Mr.. Miller
went up to the insurance office and said,
in a loud voice to the clerk: ''You needn't
mind about that policy. I've heard
from my ship. You can give me back
my premium money" Before the clerk
could think what to say the President
of the company stepped out from his
private office with thepolicy in his hand,
saying: 'I'm .sorrN Mr.. Miller, but
your policy has been signed and waiting
for you two or three days: I meant to
have sent it to you, but it was lying
under some papers oa-my desk.
Mr.. Miller took the document, and
noticed that the ink of the signature
was not dry. As he turned to go he
said: eyes; I've heard from the ship.
She's gone to pieces on MOntauk Point;
a total loss

Plenty of Gold.

Josiah Miller, Quaker merchant and
New York in his day, He and Broker
Leavitt were two old fellows always try
ing to get ahead of each other, and al
ways on the watch for opportunities to
cross swords. Hearing one day that
tn ere was something of run on Leavitt's S
Exchange Bank, Miller thought it would
be good time to draw a big check and
bother Leavitt. Walking into the bank,
he cOolly wrote check for all the money
he had on deposit, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. The cashier
was dumbfounded, but took the check
Leavitt and asked what he should do
about it.
'sPay it, of course" said the Presi-
dent.
JWhat with9 1t will take all our
money"
"Have those kegs of small coins
rolled up from the vault" said Mr.. Lea
witt.
The kegs were rolled up, each with
the amount it contained marked on the
head. Miller asked to have the heads
knocked out SO that he could see what
was inside, and it was done. Walking
from keg to keg, he took handful of
coin out of each without counting the
pieces and dropped the money into the
capacious pockets of his long coat. Then
he said: ''Well, L guess that's all l
want to-day. I'll deposit the rest" and
walked out How long it took the clerks
to count what remained in the kegs, Mr..
Leayitt never told.

Japanese Swords and SWOrdsmen.

The swords made by the japanese
prove the Western world has still some
thing to learn from the East. Neither
Sheffield or Birmingham is able to turn
out a sword blade which can be com
pared with the wonderful swords of
Japan. For fineness of temper and
keenness of edge they are mequaled
in the modern world, and can scarcely
be matched by the blades formerly
forged in Damascus and Toledo. A
common feat for q japanese soldier is
to cut a pig in two at single blow; and
bars of lead, and even iron, have been
divided by these weapons without %
notch of imperfection being visible on
the blade. While not possessing the
marvellous dexteTity of Sikh swordsmen,
the japanese would be most formidable
adversaIies in hand-tO-hand fighting.
On the occasion of the murder OF Rich
ardson and his party, Il horses hind
leg was completely severed from the
body by a stroke from one of the terri
bic two-handed swords. A sword of
superior excellence is preserved as an
heirloom i'll the Satsuma family, and
with this blade q leaf foating on the
stream has been cut i'll two by merely
being allowed to drift against the edge.
The fact is the Japanese understand the
tempering of sword blades better than
any other people.-IroR.

Salicylic Beverages.
WHAT PEOPLE GET IN BOTTLED BEER. A
BROOKLYN CHEMISTS REPORT.

DR.. Z. H. BARLEY, chief chemist of
the Brooklyn Department of Health, has
for some time been analyzing specimens
of beer to discover if sahcylic acid was
used. He handed in his report to Health
Commissioner Otterson yesterday. The
investigation was started by the startling
report of the French Academy of Medi-
cine to the effect that the acid was large
ly used by manufacturers to prevent
fermentation, and especially in bottled
lager beer.
DIR. BARLEY says, as a result of his
analysis, that the use of salicylic acid is
becoming so general as Il preservative i'll
foods that its effects on health have
grown to be a matter of careful study by
sanitarians. In lager beer it requires
the addition OF from eight to ten grains
of salicylic acid to the gallon to prevent
fermentation. If bicarbonate of soda is
put in more acid must be used. Three
grains are generally put in each pint of
wine. Salicylic acid is prepared from
carbolic acid, very poisonous agent.
The French Central Commission of Hy-
giene discovered as result of their in
vestigations in 1873 that six grains of
acid was added to every gallon of wine,
and from twelve to fifteen to each gallon
of beer.
The Doctor concludes by saying that
the acids work injuriously on the diges-
tive organs, often causing inflammation
of the kidneys and giving rise to acute
Brght's disease. He thinks that the
use of salicylic acid should be stopped
by the sanitary authorities in the pre-
paration of food and drinks.-N. Y.

student at Hampton. There are nine stanzas
OF which the first four are here reproduced
Ten years are but half a score,
And the war-whoop sounds no more
With the blast of bugles, where
Straight into slaughter pen,
With his doomed three hundred men,
Rode the chief with the yellow hair.
o Hampton, down by the sea
What voice is beseeching thee
For the scholars lowliest place?
Can this be the voice of him
Who fought on the Big Horns rim?
Can this be Rain-in-the-Face?
His war paint is washed away,
His hands have forgotten to slay;
He seeks for himself and his race
The arts Of peace and the lore
That gis4 the skilled hand more
Than the spoils of war and chase.

Can the zea. Of thy heart grow cool
When the victor SCARED with fight
Like child for thy guidance Graves,
And the faces of hunters and braves
Are turning to thee for light?

Big and Little Butchers.

Amour & Co, the packers, recently
sent a carload of dressed beef to Akron,
Ohio. For some reason, either because
the boycott on Armour was enforced by
the local labor organizations or through
the hostility on the part of local butchers
very little of it could nc sold and the
balance was returned here.
The Armoms at once decided to strike,
back and authorized their Cleveland
agent to open five OF six retail meat
shops i'll Akron and to sell their goods
Mt lower rates than those of the resident
dealers.
Convers, their representative, said:
we try to DO a wholesale trade and
generally succeed, but if anv retailers

they are mistaken. We will sell meat
one way or another, and We will make

4 Terrible Crime Recalled.

Charles T. Freeman, who murdered
his daughter in POcasset, Mass, in
December, 1888, but was adjudged not
guilty by the jury by reason Of insanity,
and was committed to the Danvers In
sane Asylum during his natural life, was
discharged therefrom by order of the
Governor and Council. This was the re-
suit of hearing to-day upon a petition
for his release, several physisians testi-
flying to the satisfaction of the Governor
and Council that he could be discharged
without danger to others. Freeman
and his wife were Adventists, and on
the night before the murder an Adven-
tist meeting had been held at their
house and the couple became intensely
excited. After praying together nearly
all night Freeman claimed that he was
called upon to offer his little daughter
as q sacrifice to God, and, while under
the delusion, they proceeded to the bed
room where their two children We're
sleeping, and Freeman stabbed the lit
tie one several times in the side, caus-
ing almost instant death. The next day
Freeman called another meeting of Ad-
ventists at his house and told them
what he had done, this action received
their tacit approval. The facts, how
ever, soon reached the authorities, and
Freeman and his wife were arrested.
Mrs. Freeman, aster lying i'll jail for
some time, was discharged, but Free
mans case was disposed of as above
seated.
